You Matter: An Inspirational Poem

There Is Hope Because You Matter

As I look out into the audience I see a bunch of faces

Familiar expressions and a multitude of different ethnicities and races

You see God, not mortal man had a uniquely divine plan to save your life

And when he sent his son down Jesus Christ it was because you matter

The word says you were fearfully and wonderfully made

You were created in beauty an image that no man could disarray

And each day as the sun peaks through the clouds and begins to gleam I know that you matter

Faith is the substance of things hoped for and things unseen

and simply what that means is you matter

Hope there is an expected end , hope because of God’s love we can live again

Uniquely and wonderfully made , splendid in all your ways

That’s how God views you because you matter

When friends are not there

When bank accounts are low

When paychecks come slow

And you have nowhere to go just know you matter

When family turns their back

And relationships go wack

And car tires go flat

And kids don’t know how to act

You matter

When your smile is cracking

And your energy is lacking

God says you still matter

When no one sees the tears you shed

Before you close your eyes and go to bed

You still matter

Someone is watching someone cares and

If you don’t believe I want you to look up there

And stare at the clouds ..up there is a God that makes a way here and now

You know that you matter

I want you to stand up proud holding your head high lifting up your voice and saying I yes I matter

We matter .. there is hope because you matter

You matter because you are here

And when the enemy tried to take your life God was near and said no

That is my child the one that I created

and I live inside of them so their hearts are not vacated

God breathed life into your being so that today you could receive him and say I matter

They matter

We matter

There is hope because ..YOU MATTER
